Saturday... Two very interesting words put together. Now one of them makes the other one difficult to do. Here is how David starts Psalm 40. The opening line of verse 1 (AMP) says, "I waited patiently and expectantly." Now there really are three words that don't seem to go together but really are successful words together. The first one is "waited." Waiting can be so difficult. It really can. We took two of our granddaughters out last night to eat and we waited it seemed a long time for our food. We were under a time frame so the longer we waited the more anxious we got. So I didn't really do the second word. I didn't wait "patiently". Yes, to wait successfully we need to be patient, don't we? But then David says, "patiently and expectantly." Have you found that the trip going someplace take longer than going home. It is all in our expectation. We are so looking forward to getting there. But that is not the end of the statement ...
A positive reflection for a new day...
